Filecard Information

UPDRAFT led the American team to victory two years in a row at the World Helicopter Championships and was a special instructor at the flight Warrant Officer's School at Fort Rucker before being selected for duty with G.I. Joe. His "hands-on" experience played an integral role n the final design of the Retaliator helicopter. Updraft's input greatly added to the copter's maneuverability, heavy-lift capability and battlefield survivability.

"Updraft molds the Retaliator to him the way he would a new suit. The machine becomes a part of him and even takes on his body language. If the G.I. Joes are in a hot situation, they'd like to see Updraft fly in to lay down cover fire and get them out of there!"

The only thing harder to keep track of than the 500+ G.I.Joe action figures released since 1982 are the many
guns, backpacks, helmets, and knives that were included with the figures. With almost 1800 different G.I.Joe
accessories, identifying them was once a long, arduous task. But not anymore.
